I scroll through my TL and see others having proper happy normal everyday conversations and it makes me sad. The people that orbit my accounts are toxic and don’t contribute to positive convos..

Why are real people so hard to find.

Like is a normal straight forward convo too much to ask or does your game theory tell you that your long running agenda is less likely to succeed if you choose to talk to me like a normal human?

Like I’m already hard to manage so mangers try to keep degrees of separation. But I guess it’s good I can’t really do anything atm wrt to that cos I feel the way I’ve been done would result in a Kim style purge of you slimy fucks.

And I truely fucking mean that. Id ensure you where tracked the fuck down and charged 💳

And that’s not that a threat at any one person it’s a promise to the people leaving a paper trail

If you are involved in this I hope for your sake your superiors have you covered long term

This low key mkultra bullshit where you don’t force a person to do something but instead remove all other possibilities so the person is only left with the option of doing what you want is fucked up

So I guess I need to talk to some people about better interior designers that think this shit wall paper is “what I need”

The most astounding thing the ruling class did was give the lumpenproletariat credentials (or at least try to).

I've been thinking about it since I met that women this weekend. She was hooked on so many things but when I told her what would happen in a true collapse I could see the gears turning in her head when she realized who she owed her lifestyle to. She said she would commit suicide

She would rather commit suicide than live in a world where weed wasn't freely available, so she contented herself with mentally ill fantasies of starting a coup against the nebulous Powers That Be and "making the system better". For her the problem was "bad people running it"

A good way to identify lots of people worth blocking:1. Go to some Nazi meme accounts and chain-block all their followers2. When you think there's someone who might be a deep-cover Nazi, scroll through their followers to see if there are a bunch of people you've already blocked

while “retreat” is often used to mean an all day work session on something like the budget, it appears this time “city council retreat” means the worst, silliest kind of waste of time — ice breakers and trust building exercises

I periodically flag accounts I follow as ones I should consider unfollowing because of the level of divisiveness/abuse or lack of interesting thoughts. I go through the list periodically and decide if it's time. Just unfollowed a few the other day.

2. People are always telling me how toxic Twitter is but for most people I think it really depends on who you follow and how you behave. (Though past a certain point of notoriety this is probably true.)

3. You curate your own feed so you can choose to follow only accounts that tweet animal pics or comedians or people that tweet food porn. You don’t need to hate-follow anyone or follow accounts that bring unnecessary crap to your life.
